Beehaw is already having troubles, guess instances have to ramp up their capacity in their near future
Yeah Beehaw seems to have been removed from the 'Join a Server' page. I tried maybe 15 times to join Lemmy.ml as well. Honestly hoping these are just small bumps in the road, so it's easier for new users to join!
They should really have on the join lemmy server a guided wizard, like what are you interested in, and then it should basically give them server to join and a "Or I'll choose my own". But then you still have the "Wait I thought I was signing up for lemmy, not lemmy.foo.bar.baz issue. Decentralized is great, but we need a bit of centralization to help onboarding.
Definitely! There needs to be some improvements to user onboarding, it's always one of the biggest painpoints with decentralized platforms.
I run my own Fediverse Instances.
Friendica, Lemmy, Pixelfed, Peertube...
Based on their funding post a few days ago, they're on a digital ocean droplet that costs $18/month or something, so there's plenty of room to scale that up. Whether or not they can afford it or get enough donations to keep it up is debatable. Point is the hosting requirements are fairly low.
